Love of Leaves 3-D Frame

Good Evening! Here are the frames that we made in my Love of Leaves online class with Cindee Wilkinson. I have used the Love of Leaves Bundle and Gilded Autumn DSP. 

This cute picture frame is inspired by Rhonda Wade's frame class created from Early Espresso cardstock and a collection of die cuts from the Love of Leaves Bundle. 

1. Cut 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" Early Espresso cardstock. Score at 1/2", 1", 1-1/2", and 2" on each side. On opposite sides, score to the first score line at 1/2." Burnish all the score lines. Cut out the corners and notch the two opposide sides. 

2. Roll the sides in and glue down with Tear Tape or Tombow glue. Do the sides next that have the notches taken out. Add a bit of Tombow glue at the corners to hold it solid and in place.  

3.  Cut a 3-1/2"x3-1/2 DSP from Gilded Autumn and adhere to the frame. 

4. Cut the largest circle of the Layering Dies from Crumb Cake. 

5. Die cut leaves from Mint Macron, Crumb Cake,Cajun Craze, and any piece of Brushed Metallic . Cut leaves from Very Vanilla using the die from The Sunflower Dies. Make ribbon from Wonder of the Season and Basket Weave and Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack. Use Versamark and heat emboss the Mint Macron die cut leaves with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.

6. Layer up the leaves as desired on the Crumbcake circles. Stamp the thin leaf with Mint Macron. Adhere the double ribbon to the bottom of the stems, resembling a bouquet. 

7. Using Early Espresso, stamp the sentiment Hope Changes Everything on a 4"x1/2" label cut from the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.

8. Display the frame on a wooden stand and enjoy for the holiday season.

October 3-D Blog Hop Fall Themes

It is October 1st, so we’re celebrating with a blog hop! We’re each showcasing a second project we created using a similar theme,  stamp set/or bundle we used in our  3D Bundle Tutorial Bundle Project.

The projects designed for the 3D Tutorial Bundle are totally exclusive and include Imperial and Metric project measurements.  Here is a sneak peek for you.

 

For my additional project, I created a fall card using the punches from the Gilded Autumn Suit and the Autumn Goodness bundle to build this colorful fall scene. 

1. Use a Thick Whisper White card base (A2)

2. Cut out the fence from Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

3. Stamp the wheelbarrow, pumpkins, and the bunch of wheat with Early Espresso ink. 

4. Use the matching dies and run the stamped items through the Emboss and Cut Machine. Cut the fence in both Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. 

5. Color the stamped images with Stampin' Blends or ink with a water painter. I used Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Bronze, Dark Sunflower, and Pumpkin (ink).

6. Start building the scene on your card base. Start with the fences. Glue the two fences together and place on card, allowing for a ground cover of leaves.

7. Add the colored pieces with Dimensionals and stamp All Good Things stamp with Early Espresso.

8. Decorate the inside with a 1 inch piece of Hounds tooth from the Gilded Autumn Designer Paper pack and add leaves of various colors and shapes using the new Autumn Punch Pack. Use the Plant Kindness Stamp with Early Espresso.

All together this is a fun bundle to use! Why don't you give these stamps and dies a try? If you like this project and want to see the 3-D projects, do order the Tutorial Bundle!
